BLOOMINGTON — New IU football coach Tom Allen's first head-coaching contract, effective through the 2022 season, will pay him nearly $1.8 million annually, with incentives that could take his total compensation above $3 million.

Allen's contract, obtained by IndyStar on Monday through an open records request, will guarantee him $1.795 million annually — $500,000 per year in base pay, plus $1.295 million per year in what the contract terms "outside, marketing and promotional income."

That's a raise of nearly $1.3 million per year from the $500,000 Allen made in his one season as IU's defensive coordinator, in 2016.

But Wilson's number likely covers his total compensation in 2016, including bonuses and incentives. According to the terms of a new contract Wilson signed after the 2015 season, he was expected to make approximately $2.15 million in base salary and outside, marketing and promotional income last year.

Starting next June, Allen will also be a due a $125,000 bonus each year in which his program's multi-year Academic Progress Rate score is equal to or greater than 950 (a maximum APR score is 1000). Allen also received a $25,000 signing bonus as part of the contract, which according to its terms took effect Jan. 8.

Should Allen wish to terminate the contract before its conclusion, he would owe IU progressively shrinking penalties: $2 million through the end of this season, $1.5 million through the end of the 2018 season, $750,000 through the 2019 season, $400,000 through the 2020 season and $200,000 during each of the last two years of the deal.

Conversely, should Indiana wish to terminate Allen without cause at any point, he would be owed his remaining base salary ($500,000 per year), paid over the life of the contract. For example: If Allen were fired following this season, IU would owe him a total of $2.5 million, to be paid over five years.

As is customary, that buyout includes mitigation language such that, should Allen take another job in football following his termination, his salary from that job would be deducted from what Indiana owed him annually. So if he were to find a job paying him $500,000 or more per year (his salary as defensive coordinator last season), IU would not owe him anything.
